Helping Girls Unbox Brighter Futures for Themselves
Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida kicks off the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie® season, a time when Girl Scouts in Miami-Dade and the Keys hone their entrepreneurial skills as they find new and inventive ways to sell cookies, unboxing brighter futures for themselves. Cookie lovers can rejoice as they indulge in the classic cookie lineup as GSTF cookie season runs from January 18 through February 23, 2025, while supplies last.
The 2025 cookie lineup features the most sought after cookie flavors, including Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Tagalongs®, and more. At the close of the 2025 cookie season, the beloved Girl Scout S’mores® cookie flavor will be retired. Girl Scout S’mores® enthusiasts can get their hands on the last of these favorite sweet treats by reaching out to a Girl Scout they know for their Digital Cookie® online sales link.
For the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program, GSTF has increased the cost of core cookies by $1per package for a cost of $6 per package and specialty cookies S’mores® and Toffee-tastic® increasing to $7 per package. This is the first price increase for GSTF since 2020. This is a necessary change to keep up with economic price increases, maintain a balanced budget, and continue to serve youth and volunteers in all areas of the council.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest entrepreneurial program in the world, they acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills and business ethics. Girl Scouts obtain transferable life skills as they earn a variety of badges and awards, including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins and Entrepreneur badges.
This year it is more important than ever to support Florida’s Girl Scouts, the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. As stated in the recent, first of its kind “State of the Florida Girl Report”, published by the Girl Scouts of Florida Association, data shows the importance of providing programs and initiatives that drive meaningful change and provide essential support for Florida girls’ successful growth.
“When you buy a box of Girl Scout Cookies, you are fueling a Girl’s dreams,” said Chelsea Wilkerson, CEO of GSTF. “We know our Girls grow strong through our programs by setting goals and working toward them. Selling cookies is a key part of this journey.”
This season, GSTF calls on community members to support their favorite cookies—and the girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local troops to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year including camp, amazing trips, service projects and much more.
How to Purchase Girl Scout Cookies This Year
If you know a registered Girl Scout, reach out to her to find out how she’s selling cookies. If you don’t know a Girl Scout, use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder here: Girl Scout Cookies® | Girl Scouts to find a booth and purchase cookies.
– Cookie booths will be held at Publix, Milam’s Grocer’s and other area retailers.
